A lot of complaints recently. I've seen Dr. Yamada for a long time, probably 10 years? Since moving to Queens the practice is different. Worse! Yesterday I waited over 3 hours to have my pacemaker checked. THREE HOURS!!!! This is the second time. 6 months ago, I waited an hour and a half. It was never like this before. Staff is inexperienced and changes all of the time. Some are rude.
I'm sorry, but my time is important too. I'm going to get referred to another cardiologist.

From online reviewer: Arrogant. Vain. Dismissive. Does not engage in chit chat during office visits. Discharges patients from practice who do not agree with his recommendations or philosophy of care. Spends too much time discussing prevention. Does not perform cardiac tests on elderly patients over the age of 85. Impossible to get appointment--has too many patients. Office tells patients: We are sorry, we have over 30,000 patients in our practice...please find another cardiology practice'

My wife received excellent care. Prompt visits. We never wait.
We were given the option of having our procedure performed at Queens Hospital, Stanford University, Mayo Clinic, UCLA, Scripps, Cleveland Clinic.

It is refreshing to find a cardiologist who is more interested in preventing heart disease than performing an angioplasty. I have been to 5 cardiologists in Hawaii and all they wanted to do to me was an invasive test.
